So how is Cain going to handle a 20% cut to Medicare and Social Security without means testing or cutting benefits or dropping people from the programs? He was kind of shy on details for that one.

Many aren't aware that Medicare is already "means tested" to a certain extent, in that, people with higher income pay more in monthly premiums than lower income people do.

How is that going to help with a 20% cut in funding? Raise rates by 20%?
